You are what you wear/ buy/ sit on/ sleep on and talk to!!!

So in this assignment we were assigned  a partner, someone who we didn't know from our lectures, someone from another course and who we probably have never spoke to.  We both had to exchange pictures of growing up recent pictures and older pictures, without discussing anything about the pictures. Furthermore we had to study and analyse them, make a judgement on what interests they have, tastes and may be influences in their life's from the pictures given.

I was assignment  to a boy who studies graphic design called Gavin Borthwick and here are the pictures he gave me

From this this is what i came up with!!

Taste:
Gavin looks quite athletic due to his build, This suggest he likes to keep himself fit and healthy by attending the gym and eating well. It also appears from some of the pictures that he enjoys to participate and interested in a variety of different sports as in one pictures looks like he is playing rugby this picture he chose to show also may mean he plays it often and is a passion of his.
His favourite colour may be blue or red as items of clothing seemed to appear in a lot of his pictures-excluding the school uniform.

I recon he is a bit of a lads lad enjoys time with friends and is quite outgoing, mabey a bit of a womaniser due to the fact he has some pictures of woman in their underwear right across from his bed, and above his study desk placed at eye level. ( then again what young lads dn't have pics of women)

Influences: Due to the fact i have assumed he plays rugby i recon influences in his life may be people like Johhny Wilkinson or Richie Veron but thats just an assumption
There seem to be a couple of pictures of him and his brother ,which suggest they have a close relationship.

Also situated directly above his bed there is a flag shaped Banner with the New jersey nets basket ball team and below, The Dallas cowboys an American football Team.
This is on vocal point as you directly walk into the room which suggests it is major influence to in his life.

Posessions: His dress sense seems too be quite casual but sporty when younger, but as he has gotten older he has developed his own style ( liking the tartan scarf ) He likes to show of his physic and is mabey a little bit of a poser with his tight t shirts and prob owns a few in many different colours, overall not a bad thing just likes to take pride in his apperance.


Environment: Due to the minimal design in the space in his room it appears he lives away from home, in student Accommodation. Generally a tidy space with not much colour, adding his own personal touches with the posters and influences in his life which he personalises the space with. His desk is slightly messy, with things scattered, but this does not necessary make him an unorganised person, but the many different items suggest he focuses on different things at the same time ( if that makes sense)

After this we met up and exchange thoughts on our analysis, apparently i was pretty much accurate other than the fact that the American football team was an influence in his life as it was a banner only for show, which i found rather strange!! may be it was just a gift from someone who means something to him i never thought to ask at the time.
He also laughed ta the fact i said he was may be a bit of a womaniser and poser, but openly admitted it


Soo here are an example the picture i sent Gavin!!

and this is what he came up with 

Definate party and social animal!

Loves to interact with people even from an early age.
A very family orientated person as it looks like your having a great time baking with your sister or other family member.
The Image of you and your friends sitting down watching tv, shows that you perhaps enjoy a socialising pre drink before going out in town or suchlike.

I assume you enjoy to travel as one of your photos looks like a summer trip in another country.
Certainly loves to dance (especially in the pole picture haha). I get the impression that when your either sober or have a drink in you, you still like to let loose and have a great time.
Your old school photo continuous my perception that you love to socialise and take care in friends.
I also feel that you are not quiet and shy. Your interaction with classmates identify you enjoy team building and are not afraid to take lead.

Dramatic changes in your hair colour shows you have a good style and definitely not afraid of any dynamic style changes.
Your dress sense has changed from your younger photos to the more recent ones. The plain coloured clothes from your childhood photo has a contrasting image to your recent, more adventurous and trendy clothing. Your trilby hat strengthens my point too.

Most of it was Near abouts right but i feel i could have mabey sent him some better pictures about things that influence me and my activities and interests and he said he struggled from the material i gave him.  The only thing that he said that wasn't at all right was that the i may have been some sort of class captain or leader in a group at school, which i dn't recall that i was, altho i am a very well known person at home and know a lot of people.  You could mabey even say i was a connector.  Also he assumed the girl was my sister, but in fact i am an only child and she is my little cousin, but we are very close.

I really enjoyed this assignment it was something different and good to exchange and reflect on what they other person said about you. I also tried to reflect back on the book snoop and look beyond what was in front of me.
